A new challenge: Who am I?
0:16
I am one of the scholars among the Companions.
0:22
I embraced Islam while I was still young.
0:24
I was among the allies of the Ansar.
0:27
My mother brought me to Medina.
0:30
After the death of my father.
0:32
She married a man from the Ansar.
0:35
I was raised under his care until I became a young boy.
0:39
I used to attend the gatherings of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:44
I memorized a great deal of knowledge from him.

When the Battle of Uhud took place.
1:00
I wanted to participate with the Muslims in the battle.
1:04
But the Prophet, peace be upon him, turned me away because of my young age.
1:09
Yet he permitted Rafi' Ibn Khadij, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:13
So I said, "O Messenger of Allah,
1:16
You have permitted him and turned me away,
1:19
Even though if I were to wrestle him, I would throw him to the ground."
1:22
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
1:25
"Go ahead and wrestle him."
1:28
I wrestled him and threw him to the ground.
1:30
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, permitted me to join.
1:34
I was the governor of Basra during the Umayyad era.
1:39
During my governorship, I was stern against the Khawarij.
1:43
If they brought one of them to me, I would execute him.
1:47
And I would say, "They are the worst of the slain under the canopy of the sky;
1:52
They declare Muslims to be disbelievers and shed blood."

The best of generations in their stances and examples,

Following the Messenger whenever he acted or spoke.

They were here, watering the clouds of our lives,
2:28
And whenever their memory is mentioned among us, it is exalted.
2:33
They departed and cast a question into the conscience:
2:38
Is there a star like them that has risen and shone?
2:43
They filled life with glories through their deeds,
2:48
And the world of humanity flourished because of them.
